Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)

We have the same record as the Cleveland Browns.

It ain't good.

Might be due to indecisiveness or holding out for the big home run pass, resulting in a sack because he held onto it too long. Like today. Just a quick little pass for several yards would have been fine. We all remember last year's 33-31 victory over the squealers, and of course Flacco was QB, and led the offense on a late drive to win it. I'm guessing Flacco is more decisive, quicker with his passes on crucial drives like that, and just takes what's given.

And Burrow wouldn't have been behind late if not for the idiot who tried to pick up the fumble on the punt return instead of just falling on it.

Overall lifetime record against Pittsburgh: 411-490-5

Is this including the Reds?
Pittsburgh Steelers lead series 73-41-0

Maybe there's some big brother complex at play, don't know. But we have beaten them as much as they us over the last seven years. Bengals would have won today if not for going full regard twice on ST.

What's most disappointing is that they lost this game exactly the same way they've been losing to the Steelers specifically for years now. Decades really.

They always seem so tight and nervous when we play Pittsburgh.

Guys who have been productive for several games suddenly get Alligator arms. Our vaunted pass rush disappears against a very mediocre offensive line.

We suddenly start making mental mistakes. Start committing inexcusable penalties. The coaches start calling the game as if they're desperate.

Like I said earlier. The Steelers are just living in our heads rent free. We don't play the same against them.

I'm really growing tired of it. I just don't see a light at the end of the Pittsburgh tunnel. They own us and it's disgusting.

I didn’t know the team I was watching in weeks 1 and 2. Today I saw the bengals return to form.
